Thanks, gents ... lots of useful info here (that's why I joined) ...but I must reply to redmodelt. You're right, of course, but a piece of crap isn't all that hard to determine.
Lots of rust, bubbly paint, horrendous scratches and paint loss, torn upholstery, door cards poorly fitted, vinyl roof unglued, car wouldn't start, no floor on driver's side with battery exposed, flat tire ... Car looked gorgeous in the internet pics. I don't know how you would have rated it, but it looked like crap to me for $18,000. I'm looking to spend around $20,000.
